I love all of the ideas posted. Right now I'm gleefully envisioning the bloodshed (hopefully computer generated - can't mess up the fabric!!) when a professional organizer tries to get a quilter to reduce her stash o
)). Or even better when that person decides quilter's stashes don't constitute a hoard and is last seen wallowing in a pile of fabric. Not that I've ever wallowed (yeah right!!) but a friend of mine at a quilt show kept her fabric bags in bed with her so she could pet them at night. Oh my.

I'd love to see a show that followed a charity quilt (for kids, for soldiers, etc.) from the shopping stage all the way to the end.
You'd meet the quilter(s), see the whole process of picking fabrics/patterns, etc - learn a little about them, and when it's finished, you'd also meet the recipient(s) and see their story, why they are getting the quilt, and so on.

We could just show off our hobby to others and get them excited about it. After all, quilting is a hobby for many, not all, and machines are just tools that we use. Some of us just have a few more tools than others but that also applies to mechanics, do it yourselfers, etc. We would stress the hobby part and ignore other potentially dangerous words and/or phrases.

When we first signed on to AOL many moons ago, there was a quilter's chatroom and one night a week, I think either Thur or Friday, they played a game. The hosts would give out a clue, and we would have to guess the name of the pattern. It was hilarious...laughed till I cried many times, and met a good friend there.

I can relate to many of the things , here ....husband always shaking his head and asking "Have you found any treasures yet " as I clean my sewing room , the thing is he is always right I find something I forgot I had .
I just wish we had some sort of Quilting show here I Australia . I wouldn't waste my sewing time watching rubbish about , picking a husband from a line up or Real house wives from anywhere .
